3.1, due on 1/19

1. I found all the reading very straightforward and understandable. I thought the 5th example was a little strange. I did not like the fact that it said "take our word for it that Axioms 2,7, and 8 hold."

2.  We are finally getting the point!  I find it very interesting that we will be able to apply general theory to a family of systems that is covered under a group of common features.  I am very interested in linear algebra (I took 570 last semester and it is an important part of my research) so I really liked the 6th and 7th but most the 11th example.  I was reading the field definition and I was thought "matrices don't do this" but then the book showed me a subset where they do, very interesting.
